Covetous Serpent Ring

To get the 20% Bonus souls. It has to be done with Meele Attacks only. I tried it with a miracle on a Infected Undead.(PwoA) And was granted the usually amount(482), but when I kill it with a meele attack it gives me the 20% bonus which is 577. Don't know if anyone knew this already just posting this down. Because I am grinding right now.

This is the overkill bonus, which is an additional 20%. 'Overkill' occurs when a single hit drains 150% and more of an enemy's total health, which usually happens with backstabs and criticals.

Example: If an enemy have a total of 200HP you have to inflict 300+HP of damage in one hit, even if you have already worn its healt down. Chaining several hits doesn't count, even if the health bar shows a total damage for the combo.
